H a p p y E a s t e r !
When I woke up, I found some chocolate eggs i the hall. Today was Easter! Stella was all ready to party, but everyone else was still a bit tired. In Denmark, they do celebrate Easter, just not exactly the same way. It was going to be exciting having my grandmother a part of this Easter and I hoped that she would enjoy it as much as I do.
We all ate some breakfast and hung out. Stella practiced her "Easter Dance", her gift to all of us. At about 10 o'clock, when Stella couldn't hold in the excitement any longer, Mom went outside and hid some chocolate eggs. The sun was shining and the birds singing, as well as the buds on the baby green plants, beginning to bloom. It was so nice, and I could already feel that it was going to be a great day. Mom finally called for us and we went outside. Mormor looked excited and curious about what was going to happen. Mom explained the rules, then, we started. Stella was done a few minutes after, following with me and Mormor. We laughed a bit and played around. It was just the beginning of a great day.
Stella called us all over so that we could see her "Easter Dance". She was very excited to show us her gift that she worked very hard on. She had made beautiful invitations and was ready to start. It turned out great! Even the neighbors walking by peeked in and saw. It gave me a very great feeling how joyful everyone was (maybe the weather gave some extra points).
We left a while after, driving to my Mom's cousin's house. When we arrived, Stella and I started playing with Frederik right away. My Mom's cousin, Jan and his wife, Inge, are GREAT cooks! They had created this amazing meal, which we sat and enjoyed for hours. Later we went back to playing. It was a lot of fun! When it was time to say goodbye, we thought about what a great day it had been...
We got home, and Stella suddenly picked up the iPad. We were getting a Face Time call from our family over in the US. It was funny to see them and sort of be part of there celebration, while still being in our own. After a great day, we went to sleep....
2nd Easter Day!
Yes, there is such a thing. We had an extra day of school off, and all of the stores were closed. Stella went to play with her friend, Sofie. We went on a walk. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite as nice as the day before, but it sure was nice to spend time with family. When we got home, I went to doing homework. Back to school tomorrow! (deep breath/sigh- "okay...")
It looks like Stella was on her turbo speed collection. I'm glad you had a chance to get some goodies too Danya. Happy Spring !
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun to "visit" with you and see Stella's special dance on Easter. It felt almost as if you were here with us but still 9 time zones away. We can't wait to have you back home with us...6 more weeks!!!!!!!
